Gluten Free Oatmeal Caramel Bars Recipes

GLUTEN-FREE CHOCOLATE CARAMEL OATMEAL BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray 9x13 pan with cooking spray. You can also line the pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray for easy clean-up/removal.
• In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt and whisk to combine. Add the melted butter and stir until crumbly.
• In a small bowl, add the caramels and heavy cream. Microwave on 50% power for 3-4 minutes, stirring every minute or so until melted and smooth.
• Place 1/2 of the oat mixture in the bottom of the prepared pan. Press to make an even layer. Pour over the caramel mixture and carefully smooth over the oat mixture. Sprinkle the chocolate chips (save a few for the top if you like) and nuts if using over the caramel. Sprinkle the rest of the oat mixture over top then sprinkle with a few chocolate chips if desired.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes until the crust has turned golden brown and the caramel is bubbly. Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing. (I usually put them in the fridge for 1-2 hours to speed up the setting.)
• Cut into bars and enjoy!
